Viper4Android for s6 edge plus /note 5 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+

I have the s6 edge+ and my wife has the note 5, can't get Viper to work just like everybody else. Other phone's versions of OS use mixer_paths.xml to adjust volume/levels, but these 2 phones have a separate file titled mixer_gains.xml where volume levels can easily be adjusted. Is this separate new file the reason why Viper won't work?

Here is a combo audio enhancer for all you audiophiles: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24562946973631338
This twrp flashable zip file contains not only viper, but this has the three finest audio enhancers in it which are fully
compatible to any android phone which has already been updated to the new Marshmallow 6.0 firmware.
This contains Dolby Atmos, Viper4android and Beats Audio all in one flash able zip file.
Also after you flash this it will only create one icon in the app drawer but when you open it it will give you a choice
of any of the three or you can even use all three at the same time if you like.
Good luck,
Have a great day.

Search for "viper for android" install that and you can boost speaker volume nicely.
You can also modify your mixer_paths.xml file to boost speaker volume but viper is much better.
Thanks for your help, but I can't install viper ?. I'll try the suggested modification.

In order to install viper you will have to copy audio.effects.conf from system/vendor/etc to system/etc then vipe will install and work as adverised (provided you also install busybox that is)
For some reason that file is not present in the system/etc folder and it needs to be there as well as system/vendor/etc for the viper installation to work.
Took me some work and help from others to figure that out in a round about way.
Oh and when you copy it make sure you change permissions to match everything else in that folder. You won't regret it, if you have any other problems the guys in the viper main thread are super helpful. or you can ask here and I will be glad to help also.
you can also edit the default_gain.conf files in system/etc

Could anyone tell me which options in the .conf file to edit ?
Why not just install Mxplayer, it automatically allows you to boost the volume, just enable it in the audio settings. imo there is no better player for Android.
Will it boost the volume past the limits set in the default_gain
Also, will it boost the volume of YouTube clips through my headphones ?
( which is what I actually want to do)

It will boost up to 200% which i find is plenty loud enough.

[Q] Viper4android : No effect

Hi,
I am using DN3 V5.5,.. I installed V4a couple of days back as per the proceduce given here on XDA :
1) Install apk version4 (for os above 4.x)
2) Open app, Install driver (I chose Super audio quality)
3) Enabled and rebooted.
4) Chose V4aFX in Music effects
5) Rebooted again
Did I do something wrong.. I tried various IRS files as well but there is no effect that I can really feel..
Can someone please help me on this.. I know there are lot of experts out there
thx
You did nothing wrong and this is unusual, have you tried dolby pro ligicII music irs? That irs is notificable and enable reverberation options like dry signal 50%, wet 10%, large room size etc. You should feel the difference.

I've installed V4A in the past because it was recommended but I couldn't really tell a difference.
It can't be mate, there must be something wrong, btw, viper doesn't boost sound, it modifies sound. If the installed version is correct and if you modify sound settings with different irs files, you must feel the changes. If nothing works for you guys, install 'Busybox free' from playstore and then check again.

[HOW-TO] Viper4Android on Lollipop

Since another thread is getting hijacked it might be a good idea to start talking about Viper4Android in a separate place. This is just to share some info, not a Q&A for Viper4Android.
Viper4Android FX is like the “advanced” version of DSP Manager/Beats Audio by providing you with more advanced Surround/Bass/Clarity/Gain boost controls in addition to an equalizer that you can use for your headphones, speakers, bluetooth devices, and more.
I found the guide on how to do it here, I just updated the links and added some more info:
1. You need root and twrp
1a. Make a backup in twrp
1b. Seriously, make the backup
Skip 2. and go to 3. if you are using SuperSU
2. Change to permissive mode with SELinux Mode Changer that you can download here
3. Boot into twrp and flash Viper4Android, you can download the zip from here (old link here).
3b. Reflash SuperSu
3c. Wipe cache and dalvik
4. Boot
5. Start Viper4Android and give root access
6. Still in Viper4Android, under settings switch FX Compatible mode to Compatible.
7. Reboot
8. Activate Viper4Android
9. Enjoy
Additional info:
If you use Poweramp, disable Direct volume control in settings/audio/advanced tweaks.
Do it at your own risk and for technical questions about Viper4Android it's better if you post in the thread you find at 3.
Some people report it working without changing to permissive mode, others report that it's not working at all. Any feedback is appreciated.

I've flashed it, tbh I only notice a small difference when activating it but I still have to play around with the settings. Also, I'm using Jetaudio, maybe it doesn't work that well with that.
Also, I've just changed the description in the op, according to the viper4android post I link to if you already use supersu (which is the same as in the rooting guide) you don't need to do the change to permissive mode.

@charliebigpot you can add in OP that in order to make poweramp work with it, disable Direct volume control in settings/audio/advanced tweaks.

For me personally, I used lolliviper in the nexus 5 forums. Flashed through TWRP and then followed by SuperSU.
No need to change the selinux.

With the phone speakers, not much I played around with some settings to give sound a "fuller" effect.
However with Bluetooth or wired headset, definitely noticeable.

imo, poweramp's equalizer does an amazing job already. Just ramp up the headphone gain from mixer_path.xml and you're good to go.

Viper4android: Use lolliviper zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796
I just flashed the lolliviper zip file through twrp. flash SuperSU 2.52 again just in case. wipe cache and dalvik. reboot.
after reboot, launch V4A app. grant supersu permission. install "high quality" (the middle one) driver. reboot.
Test by playing music (from storage, pandora, spotify etc.) keep music playing and then launch V4A again. go to 3 dot menu and choose driver status and it should show if its processing or not.
good luck.

I'll add the optional supersu step, but the rest is already there. After that it's up to each one to select between the 3 profiles at first boot.
Someone should try LolliViPER[6.0.1].zip zip on any 6.0+ ROM wit "Enforcing" kernel, see if it works.
I found this on the Nexus 5 post that is linked in the OP, guys got a bunch of Thanks for this, guess it wont hurt to try.

it breaks audio on htc music player and kills boomsound on ICE10 port.
and why you put a complete build.prop inside the zip, instead of making a script which changes only th things it needs.

If you're avoiding anything to do with Beats™ then try the following zip file otherwise, the instructions should be the same as others have shared here.
i) Download Viper4Android from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lvcxffdqimbi78b/V4A_Poweramp_Lollipop_v3.zip?dl=0
ii) Place the zip file on your phone or SD card and flash it in recovery. Reboot.
iii) Open the ViperFX app. From the menu and install the driver.
iv) You need to set selinux to permissive to get it to work. Do this by downloading this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=12506
Install it. Open the app and set selinux to permissive. Reboot.
v) Install BusyBox from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

Sure you wipe the cash and dalvik afterwards you flash the zip???? And dont have a nother eq app installed...?
Try MusicFX Installer and AudioFX Remover.zip before flash the zip and then wipe cash and dalvik.
About gave up for months, then it clicked in my mind when i saw a post mention to make sure all other audio apps redirect eq to viper, and if not, change them. Even if you dont use an audio player app, change it too.
Problem is, i could not get the lg music app (which i never use) to change the equalizer to viper, it just had it's own default settings, so i ignored it. So i decided to revisit the lg app, and froze the app with link2sd, i also froze the lg video app too, just in case. Rebooted and now viper sees NEON and i can even run without compatibility mode (which did not work consistantly for me) .
I tried all steps to get this to work, not sure what other things are needed for everyone else, but i tried moving viper to system, installed selinuxmodechanger, maybe this can be uninstalled now, i have no idea. I have no plans to fix what isnt broken and find out myself, so just try freezing lg music app for starters.
